    ...don't know if this has been done before, I don't remember seein it, so let's see all those great 55's. Here's mine as it sits, got plans for it tho,...I wanna give it the 60's street g***er look, hopefully by this summer, 5-spoke Americans,(grey spokes, not polished), lose the front bumper, get the front up about 3-4 inches .....

    It never had side trim. 150 wagon with belair front fenders. I think you are the only person that has ever noticed. I have a trim guy that said he could put a point on the back of the fender piece. So now all I have to do is buy the trim.

    if your not going to run side trim, you can have the holes filled on the fender. i think it looks cool when its filled.

    Mike, ...probly won't cut the wheelwells, it's a pretty nice orig. body; a real survivor. This Bel Air tudor sedan was sold new in Hawaii to a serviceman and then brought back to Iowa in the late 50's where I bought it.(about 2 years ago). It's kinda neat as I haven't owned a 55 for over 30 plus years; it's kinda like a throwback. By the way, this car wears the only repaint job it's ever had other than factory ; put on in '68 ! The paint's pretty dead, I really like it that way; and one reason we bought the car.

    Buzzard, I really like your 55, that's really what I wanted to start with but this one just showed up.
    Good luck with yours.
